The dude is a bit of a weirdo and a domestic abuser, but holy crap he's led an interesting life.

Was married to Madonna, beat up both her and some paparazzi, relationship exploded dramatically.

Got his own boat together and personally rescued people stranded during Katrina.

Interviewed El Chapo in person, and committed enough opsec violations in the resulting article to get Chapo arrested (and is still alive).

The world is a more interesting place with him in it, that's for sure.
- Married to Madonna and beat the shit out of her.
  
  You're right, I had forgotten that part.
- Sean Penn contains potassium benzoate!
  
  That's also bad.
- Sean Penn got El Chapo arrested?
  
  Not on purpose. He was likely tracked by the DEA.
  
  Yeah, it's fucking wild.
Also wouldn’t have happened if it was someone bigger making the joke.
- Yeah, somehow I just can't imagine the pure chivalry in Will Smith if the joke would have been made by e.g. The Rock.
But what if Will Smith ended up slapping Zelenskiy? How crazy would that have been? I don't think Mr. Penn understands the forces he's dealing with here.
- My money is on Zelenskiy.
  
  My money is on the dresser.
Wut...
This dude saw the war break out and said "HOW DO I MAKE THIS ABOUT ME ME ME!?"
- When the war broke out, who among us didn't secretly whisper a prayer that Sean Penn would get involved though? He's the only one who can fix it.
  
  Can he? I'm not sure.
  
  Maybe we should ask Ja Rule...
just gonna register my “wtf?” along with everyone else
This dude must be in a competition with the late John McAfee?
- Twist: He is John McAfee!
  
  Wait I thought this dude was Spicoli.
Well his imagination and worldbuilding are quite wonderful... He should be a writer not an actor.
Sean Penn sounds like he's got his head so far up his own Hollywood ass he can watch himself emote through his own tonsils. These are the words of a man who articulates his entire reality through the prism of mainstream entertainment.

The dude even loaned his Oscar to Zelenskyy. Like, what is he trying to say?
- To be fair, maybe the Oscar is why Ukraine has been doing so well? We don't know for sure.
Man, articles like this should put the guy's age in there somewhere near the beginning so I can see if he's old enough to be getting senile.
He's possibly correct, but that would mean the Oscars would have been more of a place to protest than it already is. Which I guess is better than a display of Will Smith's stupidity.
Penn is a weird dude
Ok Spicoli, just eat your pizza.
Lol wat
